The National Mining Association (NMA) is a United States trade organization that lists itself as the voice of the mining industry in Washington, D.C.
The organization was formed through the merger of the National Coal Association (NCA) and the American Mining Congress (AMC).
These two organizations had represented the mining industry since 1897 (AMC) and 1917 (NCA).
